    About this ebook

    It's 2018! What if, this year, you had the freedom to travel the world and make money at the same time? What if your source of income did not depend on your actual physical location?

    According to author Walt Goodridge, nomadpreneurs have that freedom! A nomadpreneur is someone whose income strategy allows him or her the freedom to "travel and roam" while generating money "abroad or at home."

    Goodridge himself was a frustrated, corporate-cubicle-confined civil engineer in New York City until he engineered his escape from the rat race and ran off to a tropical island to live out his nomadpreneur dream. In this guide, he shares his motivation, methods and mindset as well as specific details of the income strategies he and others use to achieve and sustain what he calls "the uncommon lifestyle." You'll learn or discover:
    • Why escape might be the sanest act you ever commit
    • If you can (or should) simply nomadize your current job
    • Proven strategies for making money overseas
    • Which--location-free or location-bound--suits you better
    • Travel, accommodation, immigration, safety & survival tips
    • Profiles of folks who've found nomadpreneuring success
    • Products, websites, apps and communities to help you
    • PLUS: Travel jobs for the nomad-minded non-preneur

    "Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York who hated his job, followed his passion, started a sideline business, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day...and live a nomadpreneur's dream life."

    "Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York City who hated his job. He followed his passion, started a sideline business publishing his own books, quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day! He now lives a nomadpreneur's dream life, while helping others do the same!"Read the long version at : http://waltgoodridge.com/walt/

      Acknowledgments

      I wish to thank Thelma Goodridge and Nyembane Goodridge for making me who I am, and also Reina Joa, Christine Karmo, Randy Hyde, Pramod Khanna, Ken McRae, Ernest Capers, Dr. Heru Shango, Zelda Samara Owens, Nicole Drew, Diamond Davis, Tony Cordoza, Monica Afesi, Stacey Spencer-Willoughby, Howard Walters, Aaron Willoughby, Wayne Wright, Gurdeep Singh, Delxino Wilson de Briano, Joe Hill, Catherine Young, Ashley Moffatt, Jayvee Vallejera, Chun Yu Wang, Ron McFarlane, and Preeyaporn Jompeang, who have all helped me act from, create, demonstrate and live true to my belief system.

      SECTION I: MINDSET

      Preliminaries

      Who

      Work at home. Wander and roam.

      As the book's subtitle indicates, this information is for passionpreneurs, infopreneurs, vagabondpreneurs, restless techies, expats, fugitive escapees from corporate cubicle confinement, and anyone who simply wants the freedom to create an untethered lifestyle based on an income strategy that doesn't require one's presence!

      Why

      I wrote this guide because people asked me to:

      Hey Walt, You're actually living the life I've  always wanted...to be anywhere in the world with my computer and still be making money. So tell me, how are you able to travel around from country to country? How do you work your business?—Roy

      Someone asked again during one of my passionpreneur teleclasses:

      Walt, I want to make a break for it and live in another country, but I have mortgages to pay. My fantasy life would be to be a full time writer, traveling internationally and writing novels, historical essays and getting paid to speak about it.—Teleclass participant

      I realized people were asking for a template; a guide book for how things work behind the scenes! Therefore, I decided to share the nuts and bolts— the actual strategies, tools and software I use to make money, maintain mobility, survive and run multiple identities as a nomadpreneur. This is my private, top secret Operations Manual for Freedom!

      I've divided the information into three sections:

      Mindset

      First, I'll cover the belief system and behaviors I believe are necessary to create and sustain the nomadpreneur lifestyle. This is the foundation.

      Money

      Next, I'll share the strategies, software, setup and customized system I use to make money, maintain mobility and survive as a nomadpreneur! You'll get just about everything I use to run my business except my user ids and passwords! I'll also share strategies others have used that you can use to create your own nomadpreneur lifestyle.

      Mobility

      Finally, I'll provide tips and advice for traveling the world at minimal cost and a step-by-step checklist for getting started.

      Process

      To get the most from this book, never continue reading past a word or phrase you don't understand! Use a dictionary or search online for the most appropriate meaning. This tip is more important than people realize! It's been shown that the only reason people give up on a new project or course of study is that they encounter a word, phrase or concept for which they have no definition, or the wrong definition.

      Use the check boxes (☐). After you've read and performed the necessary activity or are sure you understand its significance, place a check in the box, initial it, place the date next to it. Think of this as an agreement between you and your future self.

      Read this guide at least twice—once for a general overview, and again to take notes and action!

      Fulfill the pre-requisites. This guide is based in part on my Passion Profit™ Philosophy and Formula.

      Profiles

      Throughout this book, I'll share profiles of real individuals—some I know and others I've heard about—who are doing some form of nomadpreneuring. There are some who truly roam, while others have simply found a place they like and end up staying there for months or years. I include them all! No snobbery here! What I respect and wish to encourage is simply the boldness to jump into the unknown and carve out a life in a new location.

      Point

      All the information I share, including my fun adventures in China, are offered to make a point: to show that we can all make different choices; to show how it can be done, and thereby, encourage and empower others to do the same!

      I'm not here to convince, justify, defend or apologize for my beliefs, choices or lifestyle. I'm not here for validation, vindication or approval, nor to respond to personal attacks. I'm here to share a philosophy & formula that work for me and others. And in a world of over seven billion people, if one person can do a thing, then it must be possible for at least one other person to do the same. It is with this underlying belief that I share these ideas.

      Prologue

      A prelude to action

      This is a book about taking action. Let me rephrase that: this is a book intended and designed to be used to take action. It is not entertainment. It is not simply research. It is not theory, nor should it be seen as merely a journal of what I and others have been able to achieve. It is a book designed to empower you to take real, concrete action, in a real and concrete world with the goal of making your dreams real and concrete.

      It's been my experience that people take action when it comes to things that are important to them. People always find time for things that matter to them.

      I learned during sales classes for a network marketing company I was once a part of that people can be moved to the action of jumping into our business opportunity by (a) money, (b) fun, (c) information/knowledge and (d) the desire to help others. There are, of course, variations and nuance within those broad categories of motivations, but the point was that if we could speak the language of motivation that mattered to our potential prospect, we would have more success in our recruitment efforts.

      My own motivation was freedom, which fell somewhere in between money and fun. While I didn't need truckloads of money to be happy, I did desire the freedom that an alternative source of income can often provide. I quit my job, escaped from America and became a nomadpreneur all in the pursuit of freedom—more on that later.

      I suggest to you that in order for you to take the necessary action required to become a nomadpreneur, that you first gain clarity on your why. Why are you reading this book? Why are you contemplating this lifestyle? Are you considering doing it for the money? Are you doing it for the fun and adventure? Are you running from something, or someone?

      Fear can be a powerful motivator. While I don't suggest you live life in a
